Oil smells like gas

So, changed my oil today it smelt pretty strongly of gasoline. I've read a few odds and ends online about the possibilities of what could cause this. Anyone else notice this with their cars? Only mod I could think could be pertinent is an Uprev tune. Hoping some of you smart folks can chime in. Thanks in advance.

My guess is that you're either running really rich on that tune, or you spend a lot of time with the car idleing and not driving it.

Thanks man. It's prolly running rich as I don't idle too much.
